This award funds a research project investigating the role of TAO kinases in retinal ganglion cell death, aiming to identify new therapeutic targets for glaucoma through advanced genetic and pharmacological methods.
Description
Research project focused on understanding the role of TAO kinases in retinal ganglion cell death pathways to develop neuroprotective strategies for glaucoma. The study involves high-throughput screening, gene editing, and in vitro/in vivo models to explore the signaling mechanisms in axon injury and cell death.
